Yeah- and thank god they didn't listen to the geniuses on this forum who 
wanted to hear "relay," and "naked eye" and "pure and easy"- despite my own 
affection for these songs.  Problem w/this defense of Macca is that he was 
the only one to "misread" the audience.  Every other premier act got it 
right- all other criticisms aside.  they played stuff the audience wanted to 
hear.  paul was only one to screw it up.
